I installed Kaffeine from source today.
It appeared that the version I was using didn't have dvb support :)
So now I can do a channel scan with Kaffeine.
It does find the same channels I get with dvb-scan or mythtv.
I don't have to reboot after each transponder with Kaffeine.

Within windows with the Twinhan Software scanning for the dutch channels
does not work either. It does not find any dutch channels.

The MythTV single TS scanning problem might be
on MythTV, not on the driver.
I can repeat that with Kaffeine:
If I watch a channel during a scan, I can get only channels from one TS.
If I stop watching the channel, scanning finds channels from multiple TS.

For me the rebooting is not a problem.
You only have to do that a couple of times to scan all the transponders.
After that there is no need to reboot.
I must say the driver runs pretty stable.
I did a modprobe mantis yesterday and did watch a few channels with it
yesterday and today.
It is still

I can watch the channels from my channels.conf with super picture quality.

What is the content of the file you are using to test your scan, even
if it only does one transponder.
I'm testing with the default one and only get the following result:

using '/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0' and '/dev/dvb/adapter0/demux0'
Hello Michel,
I am using the same file you are.
It contains the same info as your's.
After I do a reboot it does find some channels.
Before I applied the patch it did find channels on a few transponders.
Now it only finds channels on the first transponder.
I am doing some tests with Mythtv now.

Hi Manu,
I know a bit more now on DVB scanning with cu1216.
Mantis driver seems to work.
Kaffeine works with FC6. I think that I have now a newer version
of Kaffeine and the ealier version had bugs with scanning.
There might still be the rmmod memory corruption problem.
I don't have to do
Hello,
I installed libxine-dvb and now I can watch the channels from channels.conf

It looks like the signal quality is very bad.
I see a lot of mpeg blocks.
With the Twinhan tool under Windows the picture quality is perfect.

Hi Joep,
Scanning with Kaffeine works for me now also :)
Ealier Livna repository Kaffeine didn't support
setting QAM128. It used QAM64 always

I'm using kernel 2.6.18-1.2798.fc6 from Fedora Core 6.

Sounds familiar. You can try to scan more than once. I used scan binary.

Hi Manu and others,
On my DVB Mantis chip, there is
K61468.2A-2
041213
With the attached patch, I am able to see Finnish HTV cable TV,
unencrypted channels,
with my Mantis VP-2033. It uses the cu1216 kernel module.
The patch can be applied to the Mantis Alpha version that Manu released

Okay that's a pity
I don't have a motor so that's probably not the problem.
Is there anything I can do to help?

Here is something that I know from the alpha Mantis version:
If you insert a longer sleep in the end of cu1216_set_parameters(),
the initial lock might be taken before DMA transfer initiation.
This does not seem to work always though? Maybe the exact good sleep
